On the other side of the coin, I once dropped my son off at a McDonalds and told him to buy us burgers while I picked his sister up at babysitter's around the corner. I used the rest room and was going out the door when some employee came bustling up to me and told me that they were not a day care. My son was still in line, a long line at that. Oh and he was 12 at the time....In that instance I took my son and my money and we bought tacos instead. I called the manager the next day and told him his employee's attentions were better directed to serving customers than to second-guessing their intentions. I was really very insulted.
